I'm compiling a list for my partner of ways to address inflammation. Obviously underlying causes need to be explored and addressed, but sometimes a person needs to be functional and get relief from the inflammation itself. I thought this community might have some ideas to contribute! All types of inflammation are relevant (joints, neuro, etc.). To begin:

Epsom salt baths
acupuncture
curcumin
magnesium
quality sleep
omega 3 fatty acids
no sugar
no gluten
no dairy
no processed foods
check for food intolerances (and eliminate offending foods)
Penetrex or Topricin or Tiger Balm
Frankincense (boswellia)
massage
TRE (trauma/tension release exercise)
CBD and cannabis
craniosacral therapy
ice or heat packs
wrap bandages or braces
Theraballs, Theracane, foam rollers

Please add to the list!

*Number 1 of all, fasting. A 3day fast is automatic 4 knocking out a bad run of inflammation for me
*Next to that, ketosis
*Cold showers
*Alka Selzter Gold can help by stimulating acetylcholine/vagus nerve
*LDN works for some
*A simple epson salt colon flush also helps when I'm having digestive inflammation

Don't eat. Eating is my #1 problem with the constant influx of bacteria into the bloodstream. They don't survive in the bloodstream, they survive in my joints. Twenty four hour fasts have been very good for me.

saraeli - Your list is good. Thaks for posting.
Posted 8/5/2021 7:14 PM (GMT 0)
Yes, great list saraeli, thank you for posting!
Posted 8/6/2021 10:49 AM (GMT 0)
removing
-alcohol
-industrial seed oils ( covered under processed foods but may not be obvious to all )

lifestyle changes ( all supported by many studies )
-mindfulness meditation
-yoga
-exercise ( may be only walking - or graded based on ability - but not intense aerobic)
-time in nature

for neuro -
-many herbs - knotweed, ch. skullcap, kudzu, cordyceps, Uncaria Rhynchophilia, Pasque flower
-l-theanine ( increases GABA - which helps in inflammation driven exitory states )

Fasting makes my inflammation much worse. I feel incredibly sick and toxic when I fast. Any idea why?
Posted 8/6/2021 11:33 PM (GMT 0)
For me:

Shower (decontamination)
TUDCA
Vit C - 500-1000 mg every hour
Avoid mold and chemical exposures
Reduce EMF
MCAS treatment
Chinese skullcap
Eat food

Okay, lots of recommendations for fasting. I have read the literature and watched the webinars and believe fasting is great for many things. That said....

If a person fasts for 36 hours and is still riddled with pain and inflammation, with zero improvement, what would that indicate to you about the source of the inflammation?

Thanks for your help with this puzzle!

I'm the same as WalkingbyFaith, when I fast I feel worse physically. The mental clarity is nice though.
Posted 8/11/2021 9:16 PM (GMT 0)
Funny enough your list of things is also almost exactly what works for me too WalkingbyFaith.

The only one I haven't tried yet is reduce EMF.

Interesting. Not to be a smart @ss in any way, but maybe because you’re toxic?

For me fasting, and ketosis, reduces inflammation pretty quickly. My burning goes down. My stomach distress improves.

But after the relief, of having my neuropathy improve, dissipates, I have noticed that for the first month I’m in ketosis i actually get some detox symptoms. Some joint pain. Fatigue. Broke out in a couple cysts.

Burning fat definitely releases toxins, as they’re fat soluble. Maybe your detox pathways are too overburneded because of mold, or youre too toxic, or both. It makes me wonder what would happen if you got through that detox phase

To me that indicates yeast and possibly parasites die off symptoms necaisentjeybhabe nothing to feed on. I did a water fast and I became nausea weak, and just sickly feeling.i learned the yeast had nothing to feed on including no sugar which is why we feel so crappy during fasting usually for those of us who suffer from heat overgrowth and parasites

I would add:

- earthing/grounding
- vagus nerve exercises for your parasympathetic nervous system
- lower stress levels long-term (this could mean quitting your job or leaving your spouse or just meditating)
- red light therapy
- Reiki
- sound healing therapy
- Vitamin D
- social engagement - making more friends, being active in your community, volunteering, book group, whatever

Dr. Bruce Patterson has been developing cytokine targeted therapies for long-COVID patients. He devised a cytokine blood test panel which directs the customized therapy. Lyme patients have also been utilizing his recently. There is a FB group about it. The drugs he has been using are statins, this HIV drug called maraviroc, and a few others. Some lyme patients are having very good results with this. I just ordered his blood test panel.

I would like to say thanks @saraeli for the discussion...and repeat that I use some of these remedies to reduce inflammation: Taurine and L-Theanine, and CBD/Cannabis ...also magnesium, lowering stress, chamomile tea, good sleep...ice packs or ice pitcher of water to control temperatures, make hot water, tea (or coffee) for warmth when needed, or add ice to water to cool core temperatures as needed...oh yeah and fasting, I still do this, it really seems to allow my body to get to work on the pathogens.
